Extended Data Fig. 5: The probability that cooling associated with anthropogenic aerosols has resulted in economic benefits at the country-level.

From: Climate effects of aerosols reduce economic inequality

Extended Data Fig. 5

(a) The probability associated with cooling induced by all considered aerosol (that is, OC, BC, and sulfate); (b) the probability associated with sulfate-induced cooling. The probability is calculated as the percentage of the ~8,000 realizations (see Methods) that show an increase in country-level GDP relative to a counterfactual world without anthropogenic aerosols. Here, low probability of benefits means a high probability of damages.
